A Montana Dug-Out.

A correspondent OF the Washing
ton Star, who has been ronghing IT
in Montana, says: "rhe house
that we hastily put up here, until
We could build our permanent cab
ms, was sort of a dugout. First
we dug down into the ground about
five feet, and then on the sides and
back placed two logs; this gave a
height OF about seven feet at the
caves and nine to the ridgepole
The dimension inside were fourteen
by sixteen feet. The front was
made entirely of logs, and in it VIZ
hid two windows, twenty-five by
twenty-four inches each. For ROOT
We placed poles each side of the
ridgepole, and then covered them
with hap and dirt. When Finished
we had dirt roof, dirt walls, dir
floor, aud lived in and almost al
DIRT In the rear of the cabin WI
had fireplace, which was our on
~ heating apparatus, and on it w
did all of our cooking, with uten
sils which consisted of coffee pot
frying pan, iron pot and DCtct
oven. In the latter we made bread
and did all our baking. Our bill o
fare was not likely to induce dys
pepsia. 1t had surprising same
ness, and made up off bread, coffee
bacon and beans, with little rio
tor a change, but plenty of dee
meat helped us an azingly.

how Mistletoe is Grown.

Mistletoe is we'll grown at Streat-
ham Lodge, in Surrey, one pyra-
mid apple tree IN particular, some
seven feet high and six feet through,
being a dense mass of it from top to
bottom and ladened with berries.
The apple tree thus smothered by
the parasite does not bear any fruit,
but this loss is compensated for by
the ornamental character of the mis-
tletoe. Those who wish to intro
euce ..mlstletoe into their gardens
should devote al apple tree especial
ly t. it. The berries FROM which it
is to be grown should be gathered in
March or Aprii-not earlier, or
success may be doubtful; earlier in
the seasons the berries are not ripe.
The branches on which they are to
be placed should be frog, three to
four years old. Selecting a clear
bit of bark on the upper side of the
branch, rub the berry on it, and
they will be found to adhere to it.
Black birds and thrushes are very
partial to them; therefore trees thus
operated on should be Melted. At
ter a lapse of some three months the
seeds will be seen to have thrown
out sucker like claws, when all dan
ger from birds will be at an end,
and the young plants will after that
rapidly increase in size. Young ap-
pie trees with mistletoe established
on them may also be bought in some
nurseri es.-Garden.

Complete statistics of the pro-
duction of pig iron in the United
States for 1886 have been received
by the Iron and Steel Associate, n.
The total production was 6,366,
500 net tons, or 5,6S4,543 gross
ton. The total production in 1885
was 4,529,Se9 net tons, or 4,O44.
526 gross tons. The increase in
1886 was 1,640,017 gross tons, or
over 40 per cent. The increase in
the southern states is "a per cent.
which is somewhat surprising, be-
cause the impression was general
that the rate of increase in the
south was in excess of that of the
other iron producing portions of the
country. 1t nust be remembered
however, that the south has beer
and is now making great prepare
tons, and no doubt her percentage
of increase this year will lead al
other producing sections.

A Good That Fruit Does.

1t Is as 8 febrifuge that fruit has
its highest value with both old and
young. With the approach of what
the poet calls the melancholy days
of the year, our bodies, if not keyed
up to the pitch of perfect health,
are sensitive to tho changes of TEN
perature, especially if the air is
surcharged with heavy moisture.
At such a time We are liable to fe-
yer and to chills, which, from a
neglected condition of the body and
from consequent low vitality, may
easily change to a congestive and
dangerous form. In this case the
value Of the acid of fresh fruit is
easily indicated, and the result of
its use is speedily shown in the
breaking up Of morbid conditions,
the frightening of that physical
barometer-the face, and that elias.
ITCHY given to the step.
AS is well known our habits OF
eating and drinking tend continual
ly to super excitement of blood and
brain, and to the development and
exhibition of the purely animal
part of US. Too many of our foods
are admittedly prepared for the
stimulation of our passions, and as
for alcoholic drinks, none will deny
that they are used, even when pure,
beyond all reason or safety. AS the
doctor well says the substitution
of fruits for stimulants, would re.
lieve much of the need for restraint
on wrong doors. This is certain,
for our heads would be clearer, our
blood cooler, our nerves steadier,
our impulses more subject to rea-
son, and life would be 100 per cent.
better than it is to-day.-Cui sine

Good humor is rightly reckoned
a most happy aid to happy home
life. An equally good and useful
faculty is sense of humor or the
capacity to have little fun along
with the humdrum cares and works
of life. We all know how it bright
ems up things generally to have a
lively, witty companion who sees
the ridiculous points of things and
can turn an annoyance into an oc-
casion for laughter. 1t does great
deal better to laugh over some do
nestle mishaps than to cry or scold
at them. Many homes and lives
are dull because they are allowed to
become too deeply oppressed with a
sense of the cares and responsible
ties of life to recognize Its bright,
and especially its mirthful side. In
to such household, good but dull,
the advent of witty, humorous
friend is like sunshine on a cloudy
day. While it is always oppressive
to hear persons constantly striving
to say witty or funny things, it is
comfortable, seeing what bright
ner little fun is, to make an effort
to make some at home. 1t is we'll
to turn off an impatient question

matters of national moment TO whieh it
refers in passing, but tn Mrs, Beau
mont's domestic life and business cx-
perienco, which are described in a most
original, chatty and agreeable Way,
Her family. her business and her bar
gains are teliciously written up: and
although she speaks constantly Of her
self, Mrs. Beaumont is never cgotistical,
even when she tells anecdotes illuStra-
| tive OF her commercial pursuits, and OF
the manner in which she frequently
| turned disaster to pecuniary account.
The pictures given of the Southern peo-
pie are wonderfully truthful and char
acterlstic, but entirely unprecedented,
while the descriptions OF local manners
ana customs are breezy, good natured
and exact. Twelve Years OF NV Lite"

The Dignity of Cooking.

It is said that "bad dinners 90
hand in hand with total depravity,
while a properly fed man is already
half saved" If this is true how
necessary it is to have thorough
knowledge Of cooking. If some of
the time aud study now largely
wasted in fancy work were bestow,
ed on making the table attractive,
with good and wholesome cooking,
many husbands would eat fewer
suppers at the club rooms and fash
ionable restaurants. Every woman
should know how to cook. Learn
to do it well; then if any misfortune
comes you will be ready to make it
pleasure and success. 1t seems
strange that we should make a
drudgery out of this chief work of
our lives. The fault seems to lie
in the training of our girls. Too
ften they are taught that any ex-
ertion that seems like work is a
disgrace. They must be slim, pale
and delicate, with small, soft, white
hands; accordingly they must not
take any part in household affairs.
They dress, practice music and
drawing, and are dying for lack of
something to do and don't know
it; and if necessity drives them to
take charge of the house they
grumble and consider themselves
mere drudges. But l am happy 10
say that there is move for reform
in this direction, and the knowledge
of housekeeping is becoming more
fashionable, even among the very
wealthy. There should be more
schools for teaching cooking as
we'll as other occupations. 1t is
certainly worth the study of every
woman, and an accomplishment OF
which the highest should be proud
1t does not follow that because you
have a knowledge of cooking you
must be constantly engaged in it.
but there are many times when il
becomes absolutely necessary fol
you to make use of what knowledge
you possess. How much better
then, to feel that you are prepared
to do it with credit to yourself and
comfort to those around you!
am glad so many are taking ar
interest in household affairs and
are trying to impart their knowl
edge to others. We can certainly
be of great assistance to each other
by giving our experience and adj
vice in all things pertaining tt
housekeeping. Many things We
are accustomed to do almost daily
may be entirely new to others ant
save many weary step.

Improvement in the south, and
especially in Alabama, Tennessee
and Georgia, is going too fast. The
"boom" has spread and grown with
such rapidity as to give strong in
dications of becoming unhealthy.
In many sections craze would bet
ter explain the situation than
"boom." People are almoss fren-
zied with excitement on the subject
of development and improvems emit,
and are liable to become easy prey
to spectators, who scent such ex-
element with the same precision as
the hound does the hare, and are
sure to be IN at the death. There
is no questioning the wonderful
resources of the sections named,
but there is grave danger, in tact
strong Indication, that considerable
of what is called improvement,
is nothing but speculation, and that
of the rankest kind. The collapse
of two or three large speculative
schemes will do much to retard the
honest improvement now going on
in the south. Watch for the wild
CATS and drive them out.-Indus-

A Word for the Farmers.

Rev. Joseph Wheeler, in a recent
sermon, said:
"Many tillers of the soil seem
displeased with their occup alton
They are not satisfied with being
simply farmer and are disposed
to want change in pursuit. But
the farmer is the monarch of the
land. He is freer, happier and bet
ter off in almost every way thar
those engaged IN other pursuits
The merchant reaps the reward of
his toll in silver and gold, but
these are not essential to the en-
joyment Of human life. The farmfl
furnishes food for mis- neighbor and
for the world, and there is In this
thought satisfaction that does no,
come from being engaged in other
occupations"
Let those farmers who are dis
posed to be dissatisfied from the
humbleness of their lot, or from
short crops. or other causes take
courage end remember that they
are indeed the "monarchs of the
land and that to them the word
owes q living.-ConcOrd Times.

Mr.. Powderly, chief of the
Knights of Labor, is experiencing
in his own person not a few of the
troubles and anxieties which usual
ly attend exalted position. In some
parts of the country there are loud
murmurs of dissatisfaction at meas
ures proposed by the labor leaders,
in other parts seditious threats are
rife, and in others still there is
open revolt against the rule of the
order. The socialists, the extre
mists, the hot-headed and small
minded element of the order are I'M
patient at restraint, and what seems
to them like the unnecessary delay
of the millennium which the dema
gogues have promised them. In
Chicago some of the knights are
threatening open revolt unless the
order is rescinded forbidding them
to contribute funds Of the organiza
ton to the benefit of the condemned
anarchists. In Chicago anoth er
cause of division has arisen from
the interference of the Executive
board of the knights with the
pork packers strike. 1t is claimed
by some but for this interference
the strike would have been sue
cessful. In the east there are other
serious troubles. The socialists
having captured the central labor
union, the more conservative
knights are opposing the designs
of that organization, and a great
schism is threatened in the local
branches of the labor order. Alto
gether the outlook for Mr.. Powder
~ and his colleague in authority
is far from peaceful.

A Multitudinous CLOCK,

The renowned horologist of Vii
llngen in the Black Forest, Chris
tian Martin, has just completed
clock which, as a marvel of con-
struction, probably surpasses all
that has hitherto been achieved in
the clock making art. The clock is
three and u half meters high, two
and three Quarters broad, and is
set in a magnificent Gothic case.
1t shows the seconds, minutes,
quarter-hours, hours, days, weeks,
months, the four seasons of the
year. the years and leap years until
the last second of the year $1,000
a. d. The clock is not only chro-
biological, but geographical, and
shows the right time, by COMPARE
son, in every latitude of the north
ern and southern hemispheres. 1t
records the successive phases of
the moon; and it strikes the min
utes as well as the quarters and
hours.
The mass of automatic machine
ry in it will seem stupendous, even
to those who have seen the splen-
did specimens of local Black Forest
clock making in the public clock
makers hall at Tribery, Furtwangen
and other places, and the great
clock on the opposite side of the
Rhine in Strassburg Cathedral.
There are multitudes of working
figures, representing the life of man
the creed offs christendom and the
old Roman and German mytholo
gies. There are sixty different per-
sonages to strike the sixty minutes
the guardian angel, death as a
skeleton, the twelve apostles, the
ages of man, the four seasons, the
twelve signs of the zodiac, the seven
Teutonic deities-after which our
days of the week are named-and
many others.
During the night hours, win ter
and summer, a night Waterman
comes forward and blows the hour
on his horn. At sunrise q cock
appears and crows lussily. The
cuckoo, the inevitable ornament of
Black Forest ideal clock, remains
concealed in tho works of Herr
Martins clock until spring. The
great face of the clock has thirty
two distinct compartments. A
whole series Of movable pictures
are exhibited in succession by the
works-representing in turn the
seven days of creation and the four
teen stations of the Cross" A
little sacristan rings a bell in the
spire and then kneels down and
folds his hands. The musical
works, always great feature In the
Black Forest clock, have a sweet,
flute like tone.-Echo.
